Finished splitting this past weekend! (w/ pic)

[Dave K]

I rented a log splitter this past weekend and split about 2 cords. Only cost me $80 for the rental so I'm pretty happy as I scrounged all of this wood this past spring/summer for free. A lot of it was from a neighbor that had piles of wood on his property for at least 2 years. The near pile is mostly already dry. The stacks you see near my 1958 camper are going to need more time to dry out.

I am splitting the last of a dead, standing ash I scrounged a month or two ago today.
The splits are measuring 15% as I am splitting them so they are getting moved right into this years rotation.

I have a couple more cords of oak I scrounged last weekend. Those are gonna get split soon as even though they were also dead standing, that wood is still 40%. Gonna be a while till that is ready.

What do you think of that splitter?

What do you think of that splitter?

it was great! But it was the first splitter I've ever used, so I have nothing to compare it too.

Looking good! It feels good to get it done and out of the way!

I say if your going to burn, a splitter is a must have tool.

I envy him for all the wood although I thought he lives in the trailer.

How long does it take to split 2 cords?
How many hours?
I'm also thinking of renting a splitter..

My back is starting to agree. Love to hand split though
